Workers seek stronger job security and investment commitments as automakers make the shift to EVs.
The Unifor’s discussions with Detroit Three automakers are independent of the UAW’s US strike involving 12,700 workers last week.
“We leveraged our union’s most powerful weapon: the right to strike,” Unifor said of the tentative deal in a statement. “The gains achieved were hard fought for over weeks of negotiation.” Unifor will now turn to getting deals with General Motors and Chrysler parent Stellantis, whose deadlines had been extended while the Ford talks proceeded.
The UAW has said it will announce strikes against more US plants on Friday if no serious progress is made in talks with automakers.
